Ten days later, the armies of Zhao Weijun and Yao Bu Tong entered Shanju.
Shanju County is located in the southeast of Jianchuan, north of Lushui. (Lushui: the middle section of the Jinsha River)
After discussion, Yuchi Jin prepared to attack the camp overnight. In the big tent, all the generals of Jianchuan were present. Yuchi Jin looked around at everyone and said solemnly, "I plan to attack the camp tonight, but someone must stay behind in Jianchuan City. Who is willing to stay behind to guard Jianchuan?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuchi Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, showing indifference; if someone looked closely, they would see a hint of coldness hidden in the depths of her eyes.
These barbarian generals were frightened when they heard the number of enemies. What can we expect them to do in the long run
This was definitely not the outcome she wanted, and today, she was going to take this opportunity to give things a good shake.
"I, Shanyi, am willing to stay in Zhenjianchuan. Please allow me to do so, General Yuchi." A burly and strong barbarian general immediately stepped out of the crowd and asked for the order with a bow.
"Jianchuan is a big city. How can a mere Shan descendant with only a thousand soldiers under his command take on such an important task? I am willing to stay here to protect Jianchuan. I hope General Yuchi will grant me permission." Another sturdy and powerful general stepped out from the crowd and asked for the order with confidence.
"Such a big city cannot be defended by one person. I, Shanyi, am willing to contribute my little bit to protect Jianchuan." Another strong barbarian bowed and asked for the mission.
... ...
Everyone was bustling about and arguing, and it seemed that everyone would rather defend Jianchuan to the death than follow Yuchi Jin to launch a night attack on the enemy camp.
This scene, seen by Yuchi Jin, made the coldness in her eyes even more intense.
Geng Xin, Han Xun and others around Yuchi Jin turned pale and filled with indignation when they saw this scene.
At this moment, Yuchi Jin suddenly stood up, stretched out her jade hand, pointed quickly, and said without any emotion: "You, you, and you, take five steps forward."
The three people whose names were called were excited and delighted; they looked as if they had won five million in the future. Without thinking, the three of them immediately took five steps forward and came close to Yuchi Jin.
These three people were also the ones who had the most heated argument just now. As soon as they stood still, they looked at Yuchi Jin expectantly. It was obvious that they thought that Yuchi Jin wanted them to stay in Jianchuan.
However, Yuchi Jin looked at them, his handsome face frosty, and said indifferently: "Come here."
A loud shout suddenly rang out, startling countless barbarian generals and causing them to look up.
Outside the military tent, several sturdy armored soldiers suddenly rushed in and entered the general's tent.
There was no doubt that these people were the elite ghost guards who were arranged by Yuchi Jin in advance and were waiting outside. As soon as they entered the big tent, they immediately bowed and said, "I am here."
This sudden scene finally made people feel something was wrong, but at this time, would Yuchi Jin still give them time to figure out what was wrong
Just as the ghost guards were in position, they heard Yuchi Jin say sternly, "Take these three men out and chop them up."
As soon as these words were spoken, the big tent, which had been noisy just a moment ago, suddenly became silent, so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
No one could believe their ears. The three barbarian generals who were called by Yuchi Jin and took five steps forward, their faces, which were full of complacency and smiling like flowers just now, froze in an instant.
At this point, they had not come to their senses yet. They thought, shouldn't they be allowed to stay and defend the city? Why did they suddenly start to kill people
Damn it, who are they going to chop off? Are they just these three unlucky guys
Thinking of this, the pupils of the three people suddenly dilated, and the expressions on their faces gradually turned pale, obviously still showing an expression of disbelief.
The ghost guards who received the order did not hesitate at all in response to the stunned look of the three men. As soon as Yuchi Jin finished speaking, the six ghost guards pounced on them like wolves and tigers. Before the three barbarian generals could recover, they grabbed the three men and pushed them out of the tent.
"No, why? I don't accept it!" One of the three people who were forcibly restrained finally reacted and immediately roared miserably.
"I don't accept it either. Why do you want to kill us?" Another person immediately echoed.
"You can't do this, we haven't violated any military discipline." The third man was so scared that he even peed his pants. A fishy smell wafted out and he frowned as he smelled it.
Facing the three people's doubts, Yuchi Jin's pretty face was cold and she said in a very cold and hard voice: "As a soldier, you don't know how to fight bravely and strive for the first place, but blindly try to escape. This is like hearing the drum and not advancing. You should be executed according to the law."
"As a general, if you fail to set an example, are afraid of fighting, and make noise, you are disrupting the morale of the army. According to the law, you should be executed. Push him out and execute him."
When the charges of "not advancing when hearing the drum" and "confusing the army's morale" were listed by Yuchi Jin, the expressions of the three men became even more bleak.
Any one of the two charges is enough to execute them once. It is obvious that Yuchi Jin wants to kill them. They may not accept it, but they can only go to the King of Hell to complain with this dissatisfaction.
"No!" accompanied by three shrill wails, in a moment, the three men were escorted out of the tent by the ghost guards.
After a while, three bloody heads were placed in a wooden box and placed on the commander's desk.
Dozens of lieutenant generals, seeing the bloody head of their colleague with a look of unwilling fear on their faces, were all terrified and shocked.
Yuchi Jin didn't even look at the three people's heads, and said directly: "I ask again, who is willing to stay in Jianchuan?"
If when Yuchi Jin asked this question for the first time, the generals still thought it was a chance to survive; then when they heard this question again now, all the generals thought it was a death warrant. Who would be willing, who would dare to be willing
After Yuchi Jin's voice fell, everyone in the tent fell silent, and no one dared to volunteer.
Such a contrasting scene caught Yuchi Jin's eyes. She snorted coldly and said solemnly, "Since no one has volunteered, I will assign one."
"Shu He, Wang Qian."
"I am here."
"I order you to lead your troops and stay in Jianchuan." Yuchi Jin gave the order directly.
"promise."
"The rest of you, follow me to attack Shan Ju."
"Yes!" The generals in the tent responded loudly, but there was a little trembling noise in the sonorous response.
On the bank of the Lu River, in an open space, there were endless military tents.
Obviously, this endless stretch of military camps is the allied camp of Zhao Weijun and Yao Bu Tong.
Zhao Weijun and Yao Bu Tong were fearless, as they had already figured out the entire situation in Jianchuan. In their opinion, Jianchuan defender Yuchi Jin might only have a chance of winning if he held on to Jianchuan City. How could he abandon the city and attack them
It was for this purpose that they dispatched such a large army, preparing to lay siege to Jianchuan City for a long time, ready to capture the mighty city of Jianchuan in one fell swoop.
But they never dreamed that Yuchi Jin would actually launch a night attack, and that it would be a night attack with almost all the troops coming out.
The attacking Jianchuan defenders included not only regular soldiers, but also more than a thousand miscellaneous soldiers.
This group of soldiers was very mysterious. There were both men and women, but no matter whether they were men or women, they all wore black clothes and wore conical hats, hiding their faces under the hats. In addition, each of these people in black also carried a bamboo basket on their back, but it was unknown what it was used for.
It was a moonless night, the sky was pitch black, and everything was empty and silent.
The roar of the Lu River, mixed with the August evening breeze, brought a slight coolness, allowing the soldiers who had been trekking for several days to fall asleep early.
Countless black shadows lurked several miles away from the coalition camp. All the scouts along the way were knocked to the ground silently by them. The generals were all surprised to see this. They did not expect that these miscellaneous soldiers were all masters.
With this realization, their fear was somewhat calmed.
Anyone who has been to a tomb knows what it is like to encounter a large number of corpses; those who have not been to a tomb but have entered an old abandoned house, perhaps you have also seen a similar scene the moment you pushed the door open.
A mile outside the coalition camp, the men in black stopped and immediately took down the bamboo basket from behind. Then they suddenly raised their hands and danced with all kinds of complicated and strange gestures like butterflies flying through flowers, occasionally accompanied by a faint humming sound.
As the man in black gestured and groaned, countless black insects suddenly crawled out of the bamboo basket, as if they had received some instructions, and they spread all over the mountains and plains and rushed towards the coalition camp.
If someone with trypophobia sees or hears the rustling crawling sound, he or she will be immediately attacked, without a doubt.
If it were daytime and someone looked down from the sky, they would find that countless black insects had turned into a vast ocean, flooding towards the coalition camp like surging waves.
The insects were very small, and as they crawled, they began to disperse, quickly crawling into the camp through the gaps in the fences around the military camp, through the holes in the chevaux de frise and wooden planks, and from the soles of the feet of the patrolling soldiers.
Then, these black insects, seemingly in an orderly manner and with a clear goal, separated one by one and silently entered one military tent after another.
Time is like sand, silently passing through the flowing light and flowing through the summer breeze, and half an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuchi Jin and others who were guarding in the rear saw a man in black running towards them at a high speed from a distance; a ghost guard tried to step forward to stop him, but was immediately stopped by Yuchi Jin with a wave of his hand.
The man came straight to Yuchi Jin and said, "General, I have lived up to your trust. All the poisonous insects have chosen their targets and entered their bodies. Now, the camp of the Nongdong and Yinsheng coalition forces in front of you is completely defenseless to you."
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work." Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jin's phoenix eyes were full of light, like two gorgeous fireworks, illuminating the entire night, and it instantly became colorful.
"Geng?m"
"I am here."
"You lead your troops to provide support here in case of any accidents." Yuchi Jin thought about it and immediately gave the order.
Geng Yan was stunned when he heard this, and frowned, but he immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
"Han Xun, Zhe Silun, generals, follow me and attack."
"Yes!" All the generals responded loudly, and no one dared to disobey.
"If you see that the enemy has no power to resist, do not kill them indiscriminately. Confiscate their weapons and armor and capture them alive immediately." Yuchi Jin took the lead and shouted again.
"Yes." Although the generals were confused by such an order, they were frightened by Yuchi Jin's methods and dared not disobey.
